Natural, Sharp and Flat Notes of the `Ukulele Fingerboard - C Tuning
A chart in standard music notation of the natural, sharp and flat notes of the ukulele fingerboard.
by Curt Sheller, Curt Sheller Publications
Standard music notation, the natural, sharp and flat notes of the ukulele fingerboard for C tuned ukuleles. Covers both high C and low G tuning variations.
Tuning Variations
C Tuning comes in two versions where string four is either tuned to "G", a major second below string one or low "G", where string four is is a perfect fifth below string three - middle C.
The PDF contains both the high "G" and low "G" C tuning variations.
Both natural, sharp and flat notes are shown from the open strings to fret (12)
C Tuning
Any tuning is possible on a ukulele as long as the construction supports it and a string is available.
C Tuning is the most common tuning used today.
C Tuning, High "G"
C Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher
four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the fifth fret with string four
"G" one octave higher.
For setting up music notation programs like Finale and Sibelius this tuning is:
MIDI: G = G3, C = C4, E = E4, A = A4
C4 is middle C.
C Tuning, Low "G"
Low 'G', C Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. Same
as Key of "C" Tuning but with string four one octave lower. This is the same as placing
a capo at the fifth fret of a standard tuned guitar.
For setting up music notation programs like Finale and Sibelius this tuning is:
MIDI: G = G4, C = C4, E = E4, A = A4
C4 is middle C.

Finally, learn the names of the notes of the fingerboard. Learning the notes of your instrument allows you the flexibility of not having to remember so many shapes. There are simply way too many chords, scale and notes patterns, and shapes to remember. It all comes down the notes.
Beyond knowing the names of the open strings, most players find it hard to learn the whole fingerboard. You need to know the names of the notes like it's second nature - just being able to figure them out is too slow.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee
